Psalm 89:8-18

Revised Standard Version

⁸ O Lord God of hosts,
    who is mighty as thou art, O Lord,
    with thy faithfulness round about thee?
⁹ Thou dost rule the raging of the sea;
    when its waves rise, thou stillest them.
¹⁰ Thou didst crush Rahab like a carcass,
    thou didst scatter thy enemies with thy mighty arm.
¹¹ The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine;
    the world and all that is in it, thou hast founded them.
¹² The north and the south, thou hast created them;
    Tabor and Hermon joyously praise thy name.
¹³ Thou hast a mighty arm;
    strong is thy hand, high thy right hand.
¹⁴ Righteousness and justice are the foundation of thy throne;
    steadfast love and faithfulness go before thee.
¹⁵ Blessed are the people who know the festal shout,
    who walk, O Lord, in the light of thy countenance,
¹⁶ who exult in thy name all the day,
    and extol^[a] thy righteousness.
¹⁷ For thou art the glory of their strength;
    by thy favor our horn is exalted.
¹⁸ For our shield belongs to the Lord,
    our king to the Holy One of Israel.
